Comics and Novelization
This book opens a novel perspective on comics and literature interactions. It claims that the two artistic media have always maintained a mutual emulation, for as long as they have coexisted in media culture. To demonstrate this, the present research does not focus on literary adaptations in comics form but rather on a literary corpus that remains virtually unexplored: comics-related novels. The purpose of this volume is to inventory French comics-related novels and to study them. Within the limits of the French-speaking world, this book pieces together a literary history of bande dessinée through its novels, from the nineteenth to twenty-first centuries. Although the comic strip – including the aptly named "graphic novel" – has sometimes been regarded as the disciple of an unsurpassable literary model, do these under-studied adaptations in novel form not rather indicate a mutual relationship, or even an emulation, between the two media?
Grand National
La 4e de couv. indique : "Sa femme a quitté la maison, sa mère a fugué dans un palace, son employé encaisse un passage à tabac pour de mystérieuses raisons : Grand National est le récit d'une crise dans la vie de Carlo. Il y est question de blessures et de pertes, mais sans drame ni complaisance, parce qu'elles trouvent réparation. L'humour aérien de Roland Buti enveloppe ce roman d'une profonde douceur.
Dwellings of Enchantment
Dwellings of Enchantment: Writing and Reenchanting the Earth offers ecocritical and ecopoetic readings that focus on multispecies dwellings of enchantment and reenchant our rapport with the more-than-human world. It sheds light on the marvelous entanglements between humans and other life forms coexisting with us–entanglements that, when fully perceived, call onto humans to shift perspectives on both the causes and solutions to current ecological crises. Working against the disenchantment of humans’ relationships with and perceptions of the world entailed by a modern ontology, this book illustrates the power of ecopoetics to attune humans to the vibrant matter both within and outside of us. Braiding indigenous with non-indigenous worldviews, this book tackles ecopoetics emerging from varying locations in the world. It underscores the postmodernist, remythologizing processes going on in many ecopoetic texts, via magical realist modes and mythopoeia.
Bücher in meinem Haus
Beim Aufräumen fielen der Autorin Bücher in die Hände, von denen sie keine Ahnung (mehr) hatte, dass es sie gibt, und sie begann zu lesen, noch bevor sie mit dem Aufräumen fertig war. Dann wählte sie einige aus, eines für jeden Buchstaben des Alphabets (dem Namen der Autorin oder des Autors nach), um darüber zu schreiben. Dabei ist ganz Unterschiedliches zusammengekommen - schmale, mittlere und umfangreiche Werke, lakonische, präzise, rätselhafte, detailversessene Sprache, fortlaufende Geschichten neben scheinbar ungeordneten Gedankensplittern. Doch ist es Zufall, dass sich gewisse Themen wiederholen? Wohl nicht, denn der Mensch hat ja so seine Vorlieben. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit schenkte sie den ersten Sätzen. Der erste Satz sei wesentlich, heisst es, er werfe den Köder aus, wecke Gefühle und Vertraulichkeit. Dann fand sie, dass auch der letzte Satz seinen Platz haben soll. Hinzu kamen ausgewählte schöne Sätze dazwischen. Nachzulesen jeweils am Ende der Texte.
La lingua e un'orchestra
Alto o basso, aulico o prosaico, formale o colloquiale, disadorno o ampolloso: l'italiano può assumere così tante forme da sembrare, alla fine, inafferrabile. Più che una lingua unica potremmo definirlo una coralità, una polifonia: il suono di un'orchestra. Chiunque si trovi a scrivere un testo – per tradurre il più ardimentoso degli autori o dire quello che vuole dire, per mandare un messaggio o chiedere un permesso aziendale – deve fare i conti con un complesso sistema di regole, tradizioni e usi che chiedono incessantemente di essere aggiornati. C'è la lingua imparata a scuola, quella delle serie televisive, quella burocratica e quella gergale. La lingua assimilata da bambini e ...

A Matter of Conscience
Orphaned early in life and brought up by a housekeeper, Sir Ronald Wilson left school at 14 to earn a living as a messenger in the local Geraldton courthouse before subsequently enjoying a meteoric rise in the legal profession to become a justice in the highest court in Australia. Best known for Bringing Them Home - his moving and controversial 1997 report on the 'Stolen Generations' of Aboriginal children - Sir Ronald was also Crown Prosecutor, Counsel, and Solicitor-General in a number of high profile criminal, civil, and constitutional cases, including the trials of Eric Cooke (the last man hanged in Western Australia), John Button, and Darryl Beamish. A Matter of Conscience: Sir Ronald Wilson will be of immense significance and interest, containing great insights into this highly complex, thoughtful, and talented man.
